Written by leading experts in this field, the book is divided into four distinctive parts. Part 1 introduces the theoretical framework through which the core issues can be understood, contrasting a clinical approach to healthcare with a social determinant perspective, and discussing the decolonialisation of global health. Part 2 discusses how a human rights rationale impacts upon different social groups, from children to the elderly to those with disabilities, highlighting issues such as abortion and euthanasia. Part 3 addresses contemporary topics such as infectious diseases, migration, mental healthcare, the impact of advanced medical technology and climate change. Part 4 raises practical concerns around equality of treatment, patient autonomy, rights of the caregivers and institutional policies. Each chapter features case studies which ask readers to assess complex ethical dilemmas, fostering decision-making based on clear moral reasoning, as well as group assignments and further reading.
Also featuring online video lecturers, this is an important textbook that will be essential reading for students across the health sciences, including medicine and all related fields.
